Lighting should not cause insects and other animals to lose orientation or interfere with their ability to find food. Without insects, our lovely trees and flower beds would no longer be pollinated.
What can you do to make your garden insect and animal-friendly and still have beautiful lighting? One solution lies in choosing the right light colour.
Façade lighting – things to consider:
1. How do I choose the right lighting for my home?
Outdoor lighting has so much more uses than just illuminating your garden or bringing light to your patio. You can choose low-key recessed or surface-mounted luminaires, or go for wall luminaires that highlight your façade with eye-catching light effects. Such light effects in particular, can bring life and style to the entrance to your home.
2. Lighting the façade
Wall luminaires are a great choice for lighting the outside of your home – as façade lighting or in the form of indirect, glare-free illumination of your entrance area. You can choose luminaires that suit the type of façade of your home. You can even be a bit creative in terms of style combinations. Traditional half-timbered houses, for example, can look great with modern LED façade lighting. There are various designs and models of outdoor wall luminaires to choose from: stylishly designed stainless steel spotlights are right on trend.
By the way, you can also have wall luminaire with replacement lenses for various beam angles. With these, you can adapt the lighting effect to your own expectations. The house number module is especially practical. It can be attached on the top or bottom of all Cone wall luminaires.
3. Light on the porch or under the roof overhang
The porch or an overhanging roof are great installation locations for direct orientation lighting with recessed luminaires if you want to bring light to the outside of your home.
Circumferential lighting creates a basic brightness all around the outside of your home, while highlighting the façades. The whole property appears upgraded, as the colour and external structure is displayed to best effect. Beyond pure aesthetics, there are many practical aspects for light all around your home – and it is a good deterrent for burglars as well.
